Check flight status at Delhi, Mumbai, Amritsar, Cochin airports as Iran-Israel war hampers Ramadan plans

The conflict between the US, Israel, and Iran led to major disruptions at some of the busiest airports in India and across world. While several passengers await their journey to the Gulf countries, many airlines, such as Air India, IndiGo and Emirates, have cancelled hundreds of flights to cities including Dubai, Kuwait, Muscat, Qatar, Riyadh and Saudi Arabia amid hostilities in the Middle East.

The airport advised passengers to check the latest flight updates with their respective airlines before heading to the airport.

A passenger said on Monday that she was told that all flights to Saudi Arabia are on time. However, a man hoping to go to Muscat said the Air India flight to Muscat had just cancelled.

"My parents have gone for Umrah to Saudi Arabia. We have come here to drop them. We just saw them off... We have been told that all flights to Saudi Arabia are on time... We were scared because the Gulf is on fire today, and our parents are going to a place which is a warzone," Dr Rafia Khan said.

She said her family faced “a lot of trouble in contacting the airlines repeatedly. A lot of passengers were overburdened with queries... But the staff was very courteous and nice to us.”

"They gave us details of all flights properly... We were given the correct information...," she said.

Meanwhile, another passenger at IGI Airport said, “The Air India flight to Muscat, which was supposed to take off around 10 am, was just cancelled. I work in the travel industry.”

“An Air India flight from Mumbai, in which a few of my clients were supposed to travel, has also been cancelled... We are not getting any updates on rescheduling...,” he added.

The passenger said people from here go to Mecca and Medina for worship during Ramadan. "Almost all flights to the Middle East are currently being cancelled...," he told ANI.
